Ghanaian fraud boys and the popular cars they love to drive
Their business is known among most Ghanaians as 'Sakawa.' The suspicion among many is that these young men and to some small extent, women, indulge in internet fraud with backing from spiritual processes.
Recently, police caught a ring of fraudsters who planned to remit about GHC 326 million to themselves.
Despite their shady business, 'sakawa' or fraud boys, are not known to be quiet in communities. They are often showy, loud and quite expensive in their tastes.
YEN.com.gh brings you a list of the favourite cars that these fraud boys love to show off with.
